On the way home from work I stopped at Antrim Park to do some birding.  
Robins were most numerous there but there was no short supply of White-
Breasted Nuthatches or Carolina Chickadees.  I went down the path that 
runs along the Olentangy River.  There was a Great Blue Heron fishing as 
well as a Kingfisher.  On a sycamore tree that reaches out over the water 
was a male/ female pair of Wood Ducks standing on a branch looking 
around.  They were probably looking for a suitable nesting cavity.  As I 
was standing there looking at the Wood Ducks, I saw something that 
appeared to be a log in the water but then I noticed it was moving 
upstream.  I moved closer to observe it scaring the ducks away.  What I 
saw was a beaver.
